News from Al-Madina: Iranians have been demonstrating for a third week in a row against the government’s persecution, particularly in the universities in the capital.
Today during their strike, the Ferdowsi University students in Mashhad, northeastern Iran, screamed, “This is no longer a protest… it is the beginning of a revolution.”
After the arrest campaign, Tehran students, particularly those at Sharif University, started honking their cars earlier today to demonstrate their rage.
In addition, 154 people have already died as a result of the country’s protests, according to a human rights organisation in Iran.
Due to Mahsa Amini’s death after her detention, the Iranian Human Rights Organization reported today, Tuesday, that at least 154 individuals, including children, have been slain in the country’s rallies since last month.
The group also stated that at least 63 individuals have now been verified dead as a result of the recent violent episodes in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, in the southeast of the nation.
It is interesting to note that Mahsa Amini, a native of the Kurdish city of Saqqaz in northwest Iran, passed away on September 16 (2022), three days after being detained by the morality police and taken to a Tehran hospital.
Since her passing, the country has become incensed about a number of concerns, including personal freedom restrictions and rigid dress codes for women, as well as the living and economic conditions of Iranians, not to mention the rigid norms imposed by the regime and its political system as a whole. Women took a significant role in those demonstrations, and demonstrators waved and torched their headscarves.
The protests that have taken over dozens of cities over the past few weeks and continue to involve people of all races and socioeconomic classes were the biggest since the 2019 protests against fuel prices, during which 1,500 people were reportedly killed (according to Reuters) during crackdowns on the demonstrators.

This is no longer a protest, but the start of a revolution, Iranian students chant.
